Love In The Midst of Hostility
Chapter 28 - Rival Lika

...༻⊚༺...

Selia pulled the corner of her lips upwards. He took one step back. Showing a hateful look.

"Look who's coming." Selia spoke as if she was muttering.

"Why?! You missing me?" beat Gamal while raising one of his eyebrows.

Selia was flabbergasted to hear Gamal's words. He stepped directly in front of the man. Directing his index finger clearly.

"You should educate your son well! He almost got my niece in an accident!" furious Selia.

"Don't just accuse me! My son will never go near your niece!" Gamal won't lose.

"Your own son is the one who ngaku. He was intentionally willing to play Lika! Mending asked directly to the same person!" reply Selia while pointing towards Zafran.

Gamal slowly looked at Zafran. He asked the son to answer.

Seeing that, it was not Zafran who was worried, but Lika. He felt guilty for causing a long lie.

"Tante, let's take care of everything the same as the police. Here the wrong thing is not just-"

"Yes, Pah! I really want to play Lika. I was also wrong with the red light." Zafran accidentally cut Lika's speech. He did so because he did not want to see Gamal continue to fight with Selia. Especially now that they are in the police station. The fight would be embarrassing for him.

Lika is silent a thousand languages. His eyes gushed pushyly staring at Zafran. His guilt is getting worse.

"W-what?! Why are you so?!" Gamal glares. Until the success of making the head of Zafran bowed.

"The same son of his father is the same," commented Selia. She smiled with satisfaction as she led Lika away.

Lika had to leave. He could only endure the crying as much as possible. Even so, his eyes seemed to glow with a clear liquid. Especially when watching Zafran scolded all-out by Gamal. The guy even gets a push in the head repeatedly.

That was the last thing Lika saw Zafran. Just before he actually left the police station. Selia can certainly take care of the small problems experienced by Lika with money and connections.

Arriving at home, Lika went straight into the room. Lamenting his guilt alone.

Somehow the hatred that Lika had felt, just vanished. Zafran who kept doing unexpected things, made the girl carried away feeling again.

Lika grabbed her phone. He tried to check on Zafran through social media. But there is not a single latest info uploaded by the guy.

Lika who had been lying down, changed the position to sit. Hugging his folded knees in front of his chest.

'Zafran is doing well, right?' inner Lika wondered. He shifts photos on Zafran's social media constantly. Even to the last photo.

At that time Lika just remembered that her body was still attached to Zafran's uniform. He hurried off the uniform. Then look at him while imagining many things about Zafran. Including the moment when the guy almost kissed his lips.

Now Lika touched her own lips. His heart was pounding unbecoming.

'Why would he kiss me? Or is he just me doing it? Or did he deliberately make me baper because he wanted to play?' I was overthinking. He ruffled his hair in frustration.

Zafran's attitude is unpredictable. It makes her curiosity and her joy even more stirring.

"Gue should how.. I think I like the same as the shucks..." Lika complained to herself. He thought about Zafran for hours.

The next day, Lika did not come too late again. Now he is in class. Sit down to talk with his two friends.

The entrance bell is heard. All students enter the class. They waited for the teacher to enter.

Ms. Jihan came in with a new student. The entire male disciple immediately exclaimed in pleasure. How not? The new student named Jia was no less beautiful than Lika.

"Why not a handsome guy just try," complained Nadia while propping up her chin with her hands. He was sitting next to Lika.

"That's so." Chika agrees with Nadia. While Lika only giggled at the complaints of two friends.

Lika did not consider Jia's presence as a threat. Maybe Jia is just pretty, but probably won't be as smart as she is. So Lika did not care at all about the presence of new students in her class.

But when the lesson begins, Lika realizes that Jia is a threat. Every time he raised his hand, Jia also did not want to lose. Jia even stole some questions that Lika was supposed to answer. Worse all of Jia's answers were correct.

Lika's face frowns. He also could not develop a smile. He finished second at the last Mathematics Olympiad.

"It seems there will be heavy competition." said a schoolgirl with teeth.

Lika chooses the silence. He tries to think positively. Lika was sure, if she studied earnestly, then Jia would not be able to defeat her.

At the end, Ms. Jihan gave the final rehearsal. It was then that Lika seized the opportunity to prove herself. Despite being the last one to finish, Lika managed to get the highest grade in the class. He certainly managed to beat Jia's grades.

The bell for rest rings. Lika sat down while smiling satisfied. He and his two friends sat for a while in class. The same thing Jia did. They chose to stay in class, when everyone first wanted to go to the cafeteria.

"Crazy anyway, Lik. This time you managed to get a hundred. The training is hard again. Later the cheat will be full dong, so we can also rasain get a hundred," said Chika.

"Enak. Still lucky you guys do not get the value of red," said Lika confidently.

"Yes. But there is no need to brag until the next time," Chika replied as she sang her mouth.

"You know, he could get a hundred, Chik!" Nadia gets into the conversation. Again the interaction between them and Chika successfully made Lika chuckle.

From behind the door, Zafran suddenly appeared. All eyes were fixed on him. Everyone is petrified by the presence of Zafran. In addition to being fascinated by his charisma, the appearance of Zafran in Lika's class is something that never happened.

The deg!

Lika's heart thumped as Zafran approached. He looked at the guy with a nervous look.

"Why are you?!" hatch Lika. Acting as if disturbed by the arrival of Zafran.

Instead of answering, Zafran moved closer. It made Lika's heart even more excited. He closed his eyes again.

Zafran brought the mouth closer to Lika's ear. "About yesterday, I thought you'd agree to keep everything a secret. Secret all of that as payment for my sacrifice. If not, I will not let your life calm down." he whispered.

Lika hurriedly opened her eyes. Zafran's whisper made him instantly self-conscious. He said nothing, and only nodded his head clumsily.

After that, Zafran moved from before Lika. Inviting his three friends who had been waiting at the door.

"Oath! That's who the hell? Very handsome..." Jia suddenly exclaimed. His eyes sparkled with admiration. He rushed over to Lika. I wish the question could get an answer sooner.

"He's not your girlfriend, is he?" ask Jia again.
